Really neat - that cat chamber underneath looks like a big set of testicles - a real big balls bike!

What road rubber have they provided?

Eventually rode away from dealer just after 2pm, these guys bent over backwards to have this ready, good work S.A Motorcycles

First up was stalling it a few times

Iam used to the 12R from take off and perhaps a little tall in first gear on this.
very easy to ride, seat positioning is excellent and noticed the lack of pressure on my wrists straight away and my knees and legs became part of the bike such was the feeling.

Dash is easy to read at a quick glance, once you work out what it all means it is very good, the power switching mode I just left in "F" mode (full) and traction control on "1" as I will read up on all this later.
Brakes are well...sensational IMO..had the ABS kicked in a few times, rear brake is useful and effective

Power? Aint no freight train pull of the 12R but at higher revs once it is properly run in I am sure it will make me eat my words, I had glimpses of its potential but backed off so I didnt break it...as if...

Handles like a dream, BPF is something else and the rear feels great and a little different from what I am use too, today I will be setting SAG and return damping clickers back to factory (all over the place out of the crate) I can feel a very slight gyroscopic resistance when flicking from one side to the other however no hinderance and probably will overcome that in time.

Anyway, going through a few usual corners sign posted 65kmh at the usual double rate +10 was nothing for this bike, could easily do it quite a bit quicker and I mean quite a bit but being first ride and run in etc I headed home with 100kms clocked up.

The green one of these looks like a giant grasshopper, this really looks like an angry ant, the black looks way better IMO but I like black anyway so just as well they had a black one huh...

Everyone who has seen it close up likes its lines and look, the more they looked the more they liked it.

I am very happy with it, 10 out of 10

Hey mate, good to see you on here again.. its a long ride to your joint from here,

Thought you were going to change to the Interact..Metz? or you wearing these out first...

Had a few squirmy moments which could have been anything from tyre pressures to setup, road surface, braking and just me being an idiot

What do you think of the BPForks on your.... errr..... "non-kwaka" ??

How about you come to Adelaide, you can wake up your old bike which is sleeping quietly in the garage.
